Hey guys, I added my Venn Diagram for the cartoons Audrey chose...but every time I save it, it flips! Can someone help change that?? Also, add your thoughts to the worksheet!- Michole
Michole and Michael I found our workspace and posted my observations and findings on two of the cartoons. I will check back so we can combine our thoughts and find similarities between the two cartoons. Thanks- Audrey Welcome to All Uncle Sam welcoming immigrants with promises of no military service and no excessive taxes All welcomed are white, European families Published in 1880 Printed in Puck magazine Vol. VII Artist-J. Keppler
As to Japanese Exclusion Immigrants dressing in kimonos being kept out of US Published in 1913 Printed in Puck magazine cover Artist- Frank A. Nankivell, copyrighted by Keppler & Schwarzmann _Hey Audrey, thanks for getting this started for us, great work on the Venn Diagram. I read over the Venn Diagram for the two cartoons and I think it's a great start but I had a few different opinions/thoughts. To me, both cartoons point to the ignorance of the American Government as to the dangers of immigration. The "Welcome to All" cartoon seems to depict an unaware Uncle Sam welcoming a stream of immigrants and offering them a better life while the dangerous storm clouds loom on the horizon (and it almost seems the storm clouds are following the immigrants). In the "As to the Japanese Exclusion" it seems that that cartoonist is trying to say that while are excluding the Japanese, the real danger comes from the slavic/baltic nations and the socialist immigrants that come from them. The people of European descent are the ones carrying the weapons and the bombs--many of the same types of weapons and bombs used at some of the labor riots lead by socialist immigrants of slavic descent. Just my own thought--what do you two think? Mike_ Mike,I agree with the points you have made. Our country might be a little too welcoming to immigrants and have always been that way as made clear by these cartoons created so long ago! We need to realize that the threats to our country do not come from one place or belong to one single race. Everyone should be questioned.Michole
